Second chance romance in Jetty Beach

Overall - 5 stars; Performance - 4.5 stars; Story - 5 stars

If Claire Kingsley writes it, I know I will love it. She always delivers a well-written story that hooks me. Add Rock Engle and Emma Wilder's talented narration and you have a top-notch audiobook! They capture the emotions and transition their voices seamlessly from character to character.

Emma was devastated when Hunter unexpectedly left without a word after high school. 10 years later, she is back in Jetty Beach, trying to get back on her feet after her divorce from her narcissist jerk of an ex-husband. Hunter came home the year before after getting injured in the line of duty. Their chemistry is still going strong and they can't stay away. When Hunter determines he wants to win Emma back and makes his "mission list", it is sweet and funny.

Operation Get Her Back is a quick, fun, and steamy listen! While each book in the Jetty Beach series is a stand-alone, I highly recommend reading/listening to the other books in the series as well.

Second chance done right!

Second chance romance is one of my favorite tropes, but it has to be really well written for me to find it believable. This one was exactly what I needed. It's the perfect combination of sweet and spicy. And I truly wanted to see Hunter and Emma back together... especially once I learned why he left in the first place!

Both Hunter and Emma are great characters. I could definitely hang out with them in real life. Hunter's determination to get Emma back was fantastic, but I also liked that Emma didn't immediately jump into a forever with him. They both changed a lot in the 10 years they were apart, so it was fun to watch them discover each other again while still feeling the spark that never really went away.

The story was fast paced and hard to put down. I needed to see how things would work out for them, and it was so satisfying when it did. There were several swoony sweet moments, but in true Kingsley fashion, they also knew how to bring the heat!

The narration was well done, and I can't wait for more from this series!

Hunter and Emma

I just finished a reread of this book and first time listening to it. I enjoyed this book it doesn't have a bunch of angst or drama which made the book even better for me. Being a Marine wife and mom I enjoy a good book a little more when there is a big strong Marine in it. I could feel Emma's heartache from losing her first love and Hunter's concern of just not being good enough or dangerous to those he loves. I'm glad they found their way back to one another. My only issue for me this time around was the narrator, which has nothing to do with the book, he is just not my cup of tea.

Love Hunter and Emma!

Love the story! From Emma finding herself again to Hunter fixing up the life he left behind, their story shows how some feelings never changes. Also, so good to see previous characters again!

Great second chance

This was was a reread for me. I loved the way the narration brings it all to life.
Hunter is determined to win back Emma. A great second chance romance. Hunter has a lot to make up for, and he’s got a lot of work to do to even get a chance. Emma has decided she’s done with men. Read it to find out how long that lasts.

Second Chance Romance

Emma and Hunter were high school sweethearts - until Hunter left one night without a word. Now ten years later, she has moved on…and Hunter has moved back. Watching them navigate a relationship after all the hurt and secrets between them was heartbreaking at times. The narrators did a great job giving these emotions a voice. Finally they were able to get to know each other as adults and eventually trust each other enough to be together again.

Rock Engle and Emma Wilder rock this book!

Emma is sitting alone with a wine glass full of champagne and chocolate cheesecake celebrating. She has no friends to celebrate this momentus occasion because her as of today ex-husband Wyatt didn't like her friends so therefore she no longer had any. Her bad. She should have paid attention to her reservations when she was standing at the altar instead of bowing under her mother's pressure.

Wyatt also hadn't wanted her to work, but luckily she had her degreee to fall back on so she was able to find a job to support herself. As she is enjoying her celebration of one there is a knock on her door, but when she checks no one is there. Then she notices the note taped to the door. A notice from her landlord that everyone had to vacate the apartment complex due to an infestation of bugs...starting tomorrow. Are they kidding?

Emma cringes as she calls her brother. The last place on earth she wants to stay is in her home town of Jetty Beach, but she has no choice unless she wants to move in with her mother...no way, no how. She has avoided visiting Jetty Beach at all costs for the last ten years. All she could see were memories of Hunter. Hunter her ex-boyfriend who disappeared into the night without a word.

Hunter was sitting down to dinner with his family when his mom drops a bomb. Emma is back in town and was divorced. The Jacobsen's weren't really his family, but they took him in when he needed someone and have treated him like a third son even after leaving ten years ago. When he called last year asking if he could come home they welcomed him back with open arms...that is after Cody and Riley got in a few words.

He had returned to Jetty Beach last year after being medically discharged and now worked as a private security consultant. Only to return to find Emma had moved on. Now he sits down and does what he knows best. He plans his mission...Operation Get Her Back.

I have read this book in the past, but Rock Engle and Emma Wilder really brought these characters to life. I love Claire Kingsley and her small town steamy hot rom-coms as you get everything you could wish for in a romance. Strong heroes and feisty heroines who despite hurdles fight their way to an HEA.

This is the first time listening the either of these narrators and I totally enjoyed listening to them bring Hunter, Emma and the other Jetty Beach favorites to life! Can't wait to hear more from them. Highly recommend this audiobook and if you haven't read Claire Kingsley, what not? She is a one-click author and you will not be disappointed!

Loved the emotion!

As always when I read a book I have a tone and vision in my mind of what they sound like. It’s so fun to hear other peoples interpretations of how the emotions play out and their version of the scene! Emma and Rock were fun to listen to and experience their versions of Emma and Hunter. Thank you Claire for writing such a fun book and having it brought to life with such talented actors.

absolutely amazing!

oh my goodness I love Emma and Hunter so much! their second chance love story is one for the ages! Claire Kingsley absolutely NAILED the story & the narrators did it incredible justice. This is one I'll be listening to on repeat... just not when my kids are in the car with me 😂😉🔥🔥🔥
